Wonderfully offbeat film!

Wonderful character development!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Many consider Toy Story 2 better than the original, sadly I'm not in this boat. I still love the film I just feel like the story isn't as fresh and that it's very much a sequel kind of movie. That said the plot is great, with some beautiful scenes like Jessie's owner and The airport sequence. Toy Story 2 is a fitting middle chapter in the Trilogy and another great edition to The Disney Pixar library.

When Woody is stolen by an avid toy collector, the other toys in Andy's room hatch a plan to rescue him in this ambitious sequel that takes the toys out of their comfort zone, exposing them to the world at large. Their interactions on the outside are certainly quite funny, causing road accidents and chaos by driving toy cars through a toy store, however, the best aspect of the film is how it furthers the personal identity themes of the first film. Both Woody and Buzz are provided with detailed back stories for their design and Woody has to wrestle with whether to join the toys from the set that he originally came from while Buzz finds himself up against another of him who likewise believes that he is a real spaceman and not a toy. Often cited as the weakest of the first three 'Toy Story' movies, 'Toy Story 2' is certainly a little too sentimental for its own good (Jessie's flashback drags on for too long) and not all the jokes work, but it remains fairly engaging to view, even with the novelty aspect of the first movie not the same. The toy characters are simply fun and interesting to follow around, often displaying surprising ingenuity while on their rescue mission. The film additionally touches on some interesting issues not covered in the first movie, such as the vulnerability of toys when being played with and the sense of loss when owners grow up and move on. No, the magic might not quite be the same here as in the "falling with style" original, but it is great to come across a sequel that at least tries to take the material in a different direction.

The story is about toys and a sequel to Toy Story. Woody who is Andy's toy enjoys going to cowboy camp with Andy, however, Woody leaves in house because his right shoulder is torn. Though Woody tries to help his friends, an owner of toy shop takes him away. Woody meets new friends in there and invites them to go together. However a toy that hope to display in the toy museum rejects woody's suggestion. In the end, Woody manages to go back home by helping of Buzz.The film is a long film by Pixar Animation Studious. The genre of the movie is animation, comedy and fantasy. It has dialogue, colors and clear images. The sound effects is good and fits every scenes. My favorite scene is Andy is glad that the number of toys increase when he goes back home. Because I think it is a pure feeling of Andy. It is good to enjoy the movie all over generations.

In Toy Story 2, Woody's conflict is described centrally. It means go back to home, or become the exhibit. Both ways include the way that he lives as toy. Such cross board sometimes occurs in our real life, though the world ( toy's imaginary world, or our real world) is different. Therefore, we can watch this film as if we were in Woody's situation. Moreover, he meets new friends and the friend's existence assists him to bother more, which way to take. Finally he decides to return to home, and this suggests the importance of friends. Going back to home means that Woody will live along Andy. And someday this life is going to end, because Andy will not play with toys forever. On the contrary, if Woody had gone to a museum, he can live as toy forever. But he chooses to live with Andy. One reason is of course he loves Andy, but there is another reason. He has friends at home, and if he did not have such friends, his choose might different from this film.
